LEO's Getting Tricky, Don't Be Fooled

If you see one of these:

Don't be fooled! There's no checkpoint. They'll be waiting at the next exit with drug-sniffing dogs to catch those who pull off to ditch their drugs.

Or, if you're absolutely sure you're drug-free, have the time, and want to exercise your rights, pull off and then refuse a search. Just think how pissed they'll be after wasting their time on someone who's just being a good citizen and refusing to submit to a warrantless search.

THey run that game around these parts, too, setting up at rest areas before the "check point."

I've considered filling up a McDonald's bag with dog shit hidden in food wrappers and boxes and rolling toward that rest area. Any motorist that pulls over and throws ANYTHING in the trash is under suspicion and the heat will be on that "stash" quicker than pigs on dog shit.

Nice
First time that I have seen someone post pic actual sign. Read about this many times and it’s usually before a rest stop of some kind. Again thanks for the pic its worth a 1000 words.

Yeah, don't be fooled, it's an old trick, I first heard of these almost 20 yrs ago. I think the Supreme Court ruled that the check points are unconstitutional, so that's why they grab the people who try to turn around or ditch their drugs.

Yeah..., but..., what if somebody else dropped drugs there (or the cops plant it) and you get nailed for it ?

These signs illustrate the basic concept that cops are allowed to lie about anything they want. Homer Simpson asks "Where's my power-boat ?", LOL. :)

I don't think it's only the so called "stupid" who fall for these tricks. IMO almost any of us could fall prey if stoned, tired, confused, surprised, etc.

But I do think the sign variant that says "Last Exit before Drug Check-Point" requires a bit more stupidity (or stoned-ed-ness, etc.), LOL. :)

They've been doing this in South Carolina for 30+ years. They will set up the sign about a mile from an exit and then pull over anyone who exits.

Haha my stepdad took the exit after one of these signs once, exit 247 in Oklahoma. He said he had to piss. It is sheriffs and DEA, they ask him why he is taking that exit and it is a high traffic area for narcotics and asks him for consent. Which he does because he is a tool.

So he is walking around nervous as fuck, and he comes over to me and tells me all slick, "We are going to tell them it is yours."

I just laugh. I was 16 at the time and we were moving across the country. At that moment I was so glad my hook up didnt come through before we left.

They call him over and ask him whose bag it is, he says it is mine and ask what the problem was. They show him and he gives them some speel about how I have gotten in trouble for that before and that is why we were moving to the Arkansas.

The Trooper/DEA dude calls me over and is going off on me trying to make an impression. I was laughing on the inside. He took down all my info and said it went into some database. And he let us go.

The info was not put in any database. It was 2 oz of some mids/higher grade schwag. The most funny thing of the whole situation was when we pulled over afterwards to talk about what happened. My stepdad thought that it brought us all closer!! And he told me I didnt have to pay them back for some framed print of a painting I begged them for in Texas($200).

I like the idea of refusing a search if you're clean. I always wanted to do it while having a few kilos of flour packaged like cocaine along with some baking supplies.

In EDMONDS, the Supreme Court decided that ' drug ' checkpoints with dogs are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and forbidden by law.

The filthy pigs can set up a sign if they wish, but they cannot legally stop people for DRUG reasons alone...DUI checkpoints are OK, but do NOt have dogs on hand. If a dog is there , is it a drug checkpoint and illegal. The cops tried to get the Court to Ok drug stops as the main reason, but it was rejected. Unless there is a safety issue for the public, like drunk drivers that present an immediate and overt threat to the public, then it is not legal to detain and subject people to dog sniffs.

On a traffic stop the cops can use a dog, under some restrictions, but that is because there was a law broken, ellegedly. A roadblock has NO grounds to believe a law has been broken, and a drug roadblock is nothing but a criminal investigation, which should not take plave without reasonable grounds to believe a crime has been or is being committed.

It is ILLEGAL for a cop to stop a driver at a roadblock and walk a dog around the car. It is illegal for cops to use narcotics as an excuse to go on a fishing trip for evidence by stopping massive numbers of cars and subjecting the drivers to interrogations and dog sniffs....there is no public safety issue and no threat to safety...it is just an easy way to get petty busts by intimidating weak drivers into a consent search.

The courts have ruled: Narcotic roadblocks are illegal. Dogs cannot be used at roadblocks where there is no individualized suspicion of criminal activity...that makes it a drug checkpoint and therefore illegal. Read the decision here:

Held: Because the checkpoint program’s primary purpose is indistinguishable from the general interest in crime control, the checkpoints violate the Fourth Amendment.

Fake drug checkpoints on highways!!!

Fake drug checkpoints on highways!!!

Listen up! They came up with a new game. They put up a sign on the highway right before a exit that says drug stop ahead 3 miles drug dogs in use. All the people that exit right there get hemmed up! The signs in NE are PINK just saw one, we did not exit and what a shit storm that exit had going on when we looked back at it in the mirrors. Nothing was 3 miles ahead!

I have heard of ones in yellow and orange also in other states! Keep going do not exit right there! It's happening on major highways and some lesser "back" roads people use to stay off the highways...

Stay safe people! :tiphat:

The Supreme Court supports the drug enforcers right to use what ever means necessary to enforce drug proscription, including lying!

Support your constitutional right to tell them to go fuck them selves, because you do not support their lies or unconstitutional inspection!.

The choice is yours!
